Apries

Apries (died 567 BC), also known as Hophra or Wahibre, was Pharaoh of Egypt from 589 BC to 570 BC, succeeding Psamtik II and preceding Amasis II.

Biography
Apries was the son of Pharaoh Psamtik II, and he inherited the throne from his father in 589 BC. In 588 BC, he dispatched forces to Jerusalem to save it from Nebuchadnezzar II's Babylonian siege army, but his army avoided a major confrontation with the Babylonians, and the city fell in 587 BC. Shortly after, the soldiers of the Aswan garrison mutinied. While the mutiny was contained, Apries' army was mauled by invading Dorian Greeks who invaded Libya. To make matters worse, civil war broke out between the Egyptian indigenous troops and the foreign mercenaries, and the Egyptians supported the general Amasis, who declared himself Pharaoh in 570 BC. Apries fled the country, and, in 567 BC, he returned with a Babylonian army, hoping to return to power. However, he was captured by Amasis and initially treated well, but, when the Egyptian people demanded justice, Amasis had him strangled to death.
